Streaming vs Eventing: Differences and Co-existence

Streaming and eventing are two architectural styles based on EDA. They both let you build asynchronous, scalable, and decoupled applications, but there are a few key differences in their approaches. In the first half of this talk, Dhanushka will compare and contrast eventing and streaming across a few dimensions, including event delivery semantics, retention, selective event subscription, and processing patterns, along with real-world use cases for each.

While streaming and eventing have their differences, they can co-exist to fill each other’s gaps, enabling you to build even better solutions by combining them. In the second half of his talk, Dhanushka will discuss a practical use case related to IoT data processing by leveraging Solace PubSub+ as an eventing system and Redpanda as a streaming data platform.
